I need to find a bra that is comfortable for me. I hate seams, dont like the way the back of the bra feels. Can any others help me find some that may feel better?

What can I do next?

Do you have a Lady Grace or similar bra store in your area? If not, you might try a good department store with trained fitters in the bra department. Tell them your sensory problem and say what bothers you (labels, hooks, certain types of straps, whatever). Let them measure you (if your sensory issue doesn't prevent that), and let them set you up in a dressing room while they bring you a lot of choices. As you rule things out (too small, too big), set them on different hooks and let the saleslady know that this group is too tight, that group over there is too big, etc. That gives them something to go on. If you find something that's close to what you want, hold on to it for the time being and also tell them you've found something that's along the lines of what you want.

Sometimes these bras are more expensive, but if they fit and you are comfortable, it's worth it. Most stores offer a quantity discount, or give you a card for their buyer's club where you get 1 free after 5 purchases or whatever the limit is. Take advantage of their service and their discounts.

First of all get a fitting. Layne Bryant does a good job with fittings, I do not recommend Victoria's Secret. Explain to the bra fitter what is uncomfortable and what is okay. She will do the best she can to find you a bra that fits and is comfortable.

well, kind of can depend on how big you are, but there are several kinds of sports bras that don't have hooks in the back, just slip them on.

You may want to speak to your doctor, they should have recommendations from having dealt with similar patients, or you could try searching for a forum for women who have sensory disorders to see what brands they recommend trying. I am sure this question has come up on one of those forums before, so check out their responses.

I stopped wearing standard bras and switched to a loose fitting sports bra. I can't stand anything binding around my ribs. I just look for a looser fit that still comfortable yet still supportive.
